I haven’t read anything by Brubaker (and Phillips) in years..I had the first few arcs of Criminal and thought it’s best parts were the noir/neo noir film articles by random contributors. I heard Kim Morgan wrote one, but I missed or forgot about it...sidenote...she is gorgeous and likes cool movies aka the perfect woman...Anyway, those pieces were great and I hoped I’d find one or two in here, but no dice.The art is fine and I guess the same can be said of the story...sadly, not much is going on with either though.I am sure a lot of gossip queens will get off on the “inside baseball” tidbits of rumor that are scattered throughout via the names of pseudo-comic luminaries, but I found it to be pandering and added nothing to the actualstory, which as I said, is thin to begin with.I am a former heroin addict/reformed criminal...over 15 years free of both drugs and crime..Yet, I sometimes forget about the horrors of addiction and the despair that fills your body after the euphoria of “getting away with it” has passed and enjoy re-living the dangerous excitement that came from that lifestyle. As a result I love noir, I love true crime, I love crime fiction, good and bad, of which this was neither.There is a real good story in here somewhere, but this feels like it was based on a good idea that went nowhere and the book was just cranked out anyway.On the plus side, the book’s cover design is beautiful and I once heard a round table interview with Ed Brubaker where he came off like good people..he called out Len Wein for trying to downplay/throw a dig at the talents of Alan Moore.So buy this book.. what do I know from good? I mostly just write reviews on here, to annoy people, when I am waiting somewhere or stuck in bumper to bumper traffic. The odds are you aren’t as well read/lived as me and will undoubtedly find this book to be a work of genius.Anybody remember Ms. Tree? That was a very good crime book and also included articles about paperback spies, PI’s and various rouges ...If funny animals don’t turn you off Blacksad is beautiful and a good read as well.Good Crime comics are hard to come by so i can only assume not a breeze to make or get made....my metaphorical hat is off to Mr.’s Brubaker and Phillips for still cranking out the genre all these years later after I grabbed that first issue of Criminal.
